Genetic Basis of Egg Production in Baicheng-You Chickens: A Genome-Wide Association Study.
Article in Animals : an open access journal from MDPI, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The Baicheng-You chicken is a valuable local breed in Xinjiang, China, known for its strong disease and stress resistance and excellent meat quality. However, it has not been scientifically bred or protected, leading to low production performance, particularly in reproductive traits. This study collected phenotypic and whole-genome resequencing data from 742 individuals at an average coverage of -5×, constructing a comprehensive variation map for the first time. Heritability estimates for egg-laying traits were moderate to high, ranging from 0.382 to 0.592. Through genome-wide association analysis, 19 SNPs and 120 candidate genes potentially associated with egg-laying traits were identified, with NCAPG, FAM184B, and the HOXA family playing crucial roles in regulating reproductive performance. These findings enable marker-assisted selection for higher egg yield, offering a targeted strategy to enhance productivity while preserving the genetic diversity and adaptive traits of this local breed.
